RefRight — AI citation styling for researchers.

Paste any messy reference list — RefRight parses it, applies the right style for APA, MLA, Vancouver, IEEE, AMA, Chicago, Harvard, or any of 54 journal-specific profiles, verifies every DOI against CrossRef, and flags retracted papers before you submit.

Product walkthroughs, integrations, and deployment enquiries are handled by the Svela AI team

Three core capabilities

Everything you need before submitting a manuscript.

Designed for researchers, postdocs, medical writers, and editing professionals — not a generic AI assistant repurposed for citations.

A — Format

Format any style, any journal

8 base styles (APA, MLA, Vancouver, Chicago, IEEE, AMA, Harvard) plus 54 journal-specific profiles — Nature, Cell, NEJM, The Lancet, JAMA, IEEE Trans, and more. Switch between styles in one click.

B — Verify

Verify & enrich every reference

Auto-fill DOIs from CrossRef, flag missing fields with one-click fixes, and check every reference against the Retraction Watch database before you submit.

C — Word

Microsoft Word add-in

The planned Word add-in works as a task pane, auto-detects your bibliography, shows a side-by-side diff, and supports accept or reject actions per reference without leaving Word.

Journal compliance

Match the exact style your target journal demands.

Each journal has its own quirks: italicised titles in Nature, full first names in JAMA, square-bracketed citations in IEEE. RefRight encodes 54 of them as profiles you can apply in one click.

Side-by-side diff view

See exactly what would change before you accept — your input on the left, the formatted output on the right, per reference.

Accept per ref or accept all

Full control over the rewrite. Review every reference individually, or accept the whole batch with one click.

Profiles from real CSL files

Built from the Citation Style Language files journals actually publish — not approximations. Custom profiles available for any in-house style guide.

Inputs & outputs

Reads anything. Writes whatever your workflow needs.

Paste, drop, upload, or look up by identifier. Export to plain text, Word, PDF, structured XML, or LaTeX-ready BibTeX.

Inputs

Free text, files, and identifiers

Free-form text, .bib (BibTeX), .ris (EndNote/ProCite), .enw, .docx, .pdf, .csv — or look up by DOI, PubMed ID, arXiv ID, or ISBN. Pull selections directly from Word.

Outputs

Publication-ready formats

Plain text, styled HTML, .docx, .pdf, JATS XML and BITS XML for publishing pipelines, BibTeX for LaTeX, RIS for reference managers, and CSL-JSON for downstream tools.

Standards

Built on what researchers already trust

CrossRef for DOI resolution, PubMed and arXiv for identifier lookup, Retraction Watch for integrity checks, CSL and Zotero compatibility, Microsoft Word integration.
